Trump Tells Starmer: Use Military to Stop Small Boats, Drill in the North Sea and Uphold Free Speech
Donald Trump urged Keir Starmer to deploy the military to stop the Channel small boats crisis that is “destroying” the country, drill in the North Sea and uphold free speech at a tense joint press conference today. The Mail has more.
At a joint press conference, the US President warned that illegal immigration “destroys countries from within” – as he highlighted his own success in securing the border.
Mr Trump also bluntly stated that he “disagreed” with Sir Keir’s plan to recognise a Palestinian state, urged the UK to do more drilling in the North Sea, and pointedly hailed the “traditions of British liberty”.
The interventions came as the leaders wrapped up a State Visit with the PM hailing the “renewed” Special Relationship and his “friendship” with Mr Trump.
Speaking at Chequers, Sir Keir insisted that Vladimir Putin’s strikes on Ukraine were “not the actions of someone who wants peace”.
In some of his toughest language which will be welcomed by No. 10, Mr Trump said Putin had “let me down, he’s really let me down”.
Sir Keir urged a new push for peace in Gaza – where the allies have taken sharply different approaches.
But as well as batting away the idea of recognising Palestine, Mr Trump delivered a veiled dig over American concerns about free speech in the UK. Sir Keir responded later in the exchanges that Britain had enjoyed free speech for a “very very long time”. “It’s part of who we are as a country… we fought for it in the Second World War alongside each other.”
And asked about the Channel boats crisis, Mr Trump cited his own policies: “What I saw happening, with millions of people pouring into our country, I couldn’t stand to watch it, and we’ve done a great job.”
He said “the last three months we had zero – from millions of people a year ago, we had zero people enter our country illegally”.
Mr Trump added: “I think your situation is very similar. You have people coming in and I told the Prime Minister I would stop it, and it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter what means you use.
“It destroys countries from within and we’re actually now removing a lot of the people that came into our country.”
Trump, of course, doesn’t have to contend with the European Convention on Human Rights and its overly officious judicial defenders. A lesson there for Sir Keir, perhaps.

And of course Kneel is not working for the British people so he’s hardly going to listen to Donald Trump.
It’s an odd situation where POTUS cares more for the people of the UK than our own PM does.
This ☝️
…… like the Tories who were also not working for the British people. Come to think of it, the whole fecking British establishment from Mad ‘Green’ King Bonkers 111 downwards is not working for the British people
Good for Trump.
Starmer et al need to be taken down a peg or two. It’s also good that Antifa have been declared a terrorist organisation in the US. Time for Starmer/UK to follow suit.
We? Sorry mate, you didn’t fight for anything. Some people did. Almost all are dead now.
You – Keir Starmer – not only didn’t fight in the second world war for free speech, you are in 2025 taking a sledgehammer to it. You are in fact destroying what people fought for in WWII.
He is grotesque not just in what he is doing to free speech but even more so in using the sacrifice of others to try to cover it up. What a scumbag.
Yes, a soundbite-regurgitating scumbag.
an AI bot.
[mass migration] … destroys countries from within. Obviously!. Which is why it has been going on for over 30 years into all western countries organized by gangs such as the UN, the EU, UNHCR, UNHRC, IoM, anything funded by soros and now by the UK Liebour Gummint.
So weak and feeble have the last 4 UK Gummints been … and the current one isn’t just weak, IT wants the migrants to come in; that it takes a US President to say what 90% of the UK population have been shouting from the rooftops – ‘Deploy the Military in the English Channel. Stop the Boats’
Now is the opportunity; now is the moment to give Starmer the ultimatum .. Deploy the Military in the English Channel and stop the boats completely by the end of September – if you fail, the Gummint falls, ALL the Cabinet Ministers are arrested and sent to the Tower of London and we organize a UK Gummint of National Security.
But, but, an Indian immigrant has been removed to France. Oh, hang we get a scumbag in return so the result is Net Zero….if you ignore the over 5,000 that arrived since Two Tier Kier came up with his infantile policy.
Much as I dislike the “one in, one out” sell-out to Macron, I though that at least when sixty migrants arrive in a dinghy into British waters off Dover, there’d be a plane/boat/train ready and waiting to send all sixty back straight way – not waiting days/weeks/months/years for legal challenges to be considered.
I thought the same, 900 illegals turn up in dinghy’s, Shirley, we should just bus them to the ferry terminal and send them straight back, no pause, no refreshments, no free phone, no cash handouts, just a swift return back to France … simples….
But France doesn’t want them.
Oh! Hang on…
Alternatively deploy the army on the beaches in France to do what we’ve given the French hundreds of millions of pounds to do and stop the boats leaving in the first place. Obviously the French won’t like it but it serves them right for not doing what we paid them to do.
Yes, the boats must be stopped but the crisis has served first the Tories and now Labour to deflect attention away from the far, far greater number of legal migrants entering the country.
What exactly does TECH PROSPERITY DEAL mean? Do I want to know? And who is the insignificant person on the left of Trump? Anyone important?
If politicians have anything to do with it, then it probably means
NON-TECHNICAL PENURY BREACH
I think the person on Trump’s left is just checking the microphone setup.
I think we have every right to call this supposed deal as bullshit. Supposedly £150bn of which Blackstone are putting up £100bn over ten years. So, no new jobs then just one private equity firm buying up assets from other private equity investors. Money merry go round and what the socialists aren’t telling you is a lot of that money is also being used to buy surplus Government assets (whatever those are), including NHS assets and they keep screaming about others privatising the health service.
So because we’ve had free speech for a very long time it’s OK to do away with it?
Well imagine my surprise! How is it that we are supposed to be so intelligent and sophisticated and yet we are continuously being taken for fools by people who are apparently ill educated, backward and tribal from around the world. The final days of Rome are rapidly coming – sorry Marcus Aurelius knows
